Olga Varconi $190,000 OMFG [/ QUOTE ] would this help Robert Varkoni and his reputation if his wife goes far? he should get some more respect after all he taught his wife how to play and if she gets far into the biggest tournament ever with the giant field, the better. |

Re: WSOP Day 2: \"Official\" Results, News & Discussion
[ QUOTE ]
"Pro" has less and less meaning these days. Just what is a pro? A tournament name or someone who actually makes money playing online? After a big tournament win, the casino takes 6% and the government takes >40% when you include state and local. So all but the very best American tournament pros are chumps. Doesn't matter if the fields are weak (and they are for sure) - very few players can overcome a near-50% vig. Matt [/ QUOTE ] It's too bad I've already handed out my stupidest post ever award. |

[ QUOTE ] Raymer pullin his own weight near the top of the list on the recent chip count update [/ QUOTE ] He's a fluke. Just a guy with a nice run of luck. Really just a bad, bad poker player. [/ QUOTE ] You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Greg has earned a lot of people's respect here from years of giving consistently good advice and analysis. Yer barkin up the wrong tree, bub. |
